The Oscar-winning film-maker and liberal commentator alleges that “classic
Hollywood accounting tricks” were used by the brothers’ company to reduce
his share of the profits.

company, Fellowship Adventure Group, agreed to split profits from the hugely
successful film 50/50 with Moore’s Westside Productions, but then used
“financial deception” to cheat him out of some of his share.
